The history
of human civilization is replete with horrific examples of vicious barbarian
hordes overrunning, conquering, pillaging, and laying to waste, torturing, murdering
and enslaving peaceful innocent populations. This phenomenon is so common that during
my entire lifetime it has always been occurring at least somewhere on the
planet. It is happening today. It is happening now.

Barbarians
are at the gate.

Unless they
are stopped they’re going to continue their assault against human civilization
as we know it. The Islamic State savages, whose consciousness is mired in 7th
century AD religious fantasy, have vowed to create a worldwide Islamic Caliphate.
Just like any other barbarian horde they’ve started out small and are slowly
growing like a metastasizing cancer. They regard liberty as a dirty word.

ISIS has
overrun territory; conquered and pillaged the inhabitants of several countries.
Their modus operandi is to kidnap, torture, murder or enslave any peaceful
innocent persons who don’t believe exactly as they do. Women and children are sold
and turned into sex slaves. Men are tortured beheaded, crucified and in many
cases burned alive.

If they ever
get their hands on any American, Brit, Australian, Canadian, or any citizen of
a western civilized nation anywhere in the world, they will not hesitate to torture
and murder them in the most gruesome manner possible. The same goes for any
Christian, Jew, Buddhist or any other religion, including even other Islamists
who believe differently.

They are
uncivilized; mindless; vicious; insane and subhuman criminals. They don’t
tolerate philosophical differences of opinion or lifestyle. They have no regard
for human life. Indeed, they would unhesitatingly sacrifice their own lives in
furtherance of their cause because they think they’ll be rewarded in the
afterlife.

Last week ISIS,
for the fun of it, released a video
depicting a group of its savage madmen ransacking the Mosul Museum in Iraq, and
taking sledgehammers and power drills to priceless ancient artifacts as part of
an orchestrated campaign to “eliminate what they view as heresy.” It
shows, among other atrocities, the total destruction of a carving of an
Assyrian deity that dates back to the 7th century B.C.

A man shown
in the video said they were doing it because the items promoted idolatry. 'The
Prophet ordered us to get rid of statues and relics, and his companions did the
same when they conquered countries after him,”said
the goon.

The fanatics have also blown up the Mosul Public Library, sending
10,000 books and more than 700 rare manuscripts up in flames. "These
books promote infidelity and call for disobeying Allah. So they will be burned,”
a bearded goon explained.

They will
not respond to diplomacy. Their deluded minds are not attuned to reason or
logic. They understand and respond only to the logic of force. They’ll continue
on their merciless conquest until they’re eradicated like a colony of hornets
in their nests. They must be killed every last one of them or they will kill
us.

Do you think that George Washington, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson and the rest of America’s founders ever imagined for a second that
the Congress and the President of the United States they created with our
Constitution would someday begin to delegate their important legislative powers
to obscure government agencies, boards, commissions and other bureaucratic
entities substantially beyond accountability to the American people?

Not for a second did any of them ever imagine such a
government nightmare. Yet today by far most of the nation’s laws, rules and
regulations are promulgated and decreed by fiat from the whims of legions of
faceless unelected bureaucrats who have virtual dictatorial powers over our
everyday lives. They constitute a huge parasitical fourth branch of government
which was never contemplated by our revolutionary fathers. It’s slowly eating
away at our liberty.

This Nazi like forth branch of government has wrapped its
sticky tentacles around each one of our precious freedoms so that today they
successfully control almost every aspect of our lives. With most of their
activities we don’t get to vote; we don’t even get the opportunity to debate the
matter before their whims become law.

This week the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
sweeping new regulations sought by President Obama for how Americans use and do
business on the Internet. These Nazis are moving swiftly to take over the
Internet. And they did it all in secret; no vote; no debate; no input
whatsoever from the American public.

They call it their net neutrality plan. As with all of
their dictatorial regulatory actions they want us to believe that it is all being
done benignly and in the public interest. They want us to think that they’re
coming to our rescue, making the Internet, in their words, a fairer and "open,
unfettered network."

They aim firstly to bar Internet providers from creating
paid "fast lanes" allowing us to pay more for better service. They
want to level the playing field. They want a one size fits all approach to the
World Wide Web. They’re going to do to the Internet what they did to the
telephone system. It will now be treated as a public utility requiring
providers to act in the so-called "public interest."

It constitutes a "monumental shift" to "government
control of the Internet," saidRepublican FCC Commissioner Ajit
Pai. "President Obama told us to do so," he admitted. It
will allow rate regulation and service fees. Ultimately, rates will go up and
broadband service will slow. "The order explicitly opens the door
to billions of dollars in new taxes."

The European governments have already done the same and
it has ruined the Internet experience for their people. Speeds have gone down
and there is less entrepreneurial investment. "The Internet is not
broken. There is no problem for the government to solve," Pai explained.

Congress long ago created this Frankenstein monster and
therefore only Congress can drive a state through its tyrannical heart. Good
luck with that. It will never happen. Instead the situation will only continue
to get worse.

Mitt Romney
would have easily won the last presidential election and we’d have a Republican
President of the United States today if only the GOP Neanderthals had put a lid
on their extremist political antics and shut their bigoted mouths during the
campaign.

But the GOP
Neanderthals will never do that. They’ll always be Neanderthals. They just can’t
help it. They’d rather lose the election than give one inch on their medieval religious
social agenda for America. That’s why
mainstream American voters don’t like them. The average American is afraid of
what a Neanderthal would do if elected to high office. They saw what GWB did to
the country and don’t want that to happen again.

Democrat
Barack Obama has been a horrible President and Hillary Clinton would no doubt
be far worse, however the Republicans will still have a difficult time beating
her, or any other Democrat for that matter, in 2016 because of the GOP Neanderthal
wing.

A federal
judge last year ruled that the State of Oklahoma’s ban on same sex marriage was
unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to declare all such state
laws unconstitutional. The GOP has lost their continuing battle to discriminate
against homosexuals. Yet the Republican Neanderthals in Oklahoma are not about
to give it up. They’re going to pass a new law to punish
any local or state employee who issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The bill is
just one of several in the GOP dominated statehouse aimed at imposing
restrictions on gay marriage. They plan on defying the federal judiciary. The
court said their discrimination is unconstitutional. They aren’t listening. The
average American citizen has come around to the position that gay marriage is
no threat to society. The Neanderthals aren’t listening.

Their "Preservation
of Sovereignty and Marriage Act" prohibits taxpayer funds, including
government salaries, to be used for any activity that supports same-sex
marriage. It also provides that those who issue marriage licenses to same-sex
couples can be subject to removal from office.

When the
average American voter thinks about the GOP, they might like a particular
candidate and his or her ideas, but the scary specter of the Republican Neanderthal
will always be lurking in the back of their minds. That’s because of the antics of knuckle-dragging
Republican politicians like the bigots in Oklahoma described above.

If any group
can bring down the GOP in a presidential election, it’s the Republican
Neanderthals.

I’m no fan
of religion – any religion -- because, in my opinion, it causes far more bad consequences
to human civilization, well being and liberty than good. The time will eventually
come (unfortunately not in my lifetime) when all religions will be reasoned out
of existence in conscious minds -- that is only if the irrationality of it all
doesn’t result first in the complete destruction and extinction of the human
species.

That said, I’m
a huge fan of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and
especially the First Amendment. It is the foundation for liberty in America.
Without freedom of conscience there is no liberty.

The First
Amendment recognizes my right to disbelieve in all religions, and express my
non-belief as I am doing here, just as it recognizes the rights of others to
freely exercise and express their religious beliefs. That is the essence of
religious liberty for believers and non-believers alike. These rights “shall
not be abridged.”

This is why I am troubled by the news
that the city of Atlanta Georgia has terminated
the employment of its fire chief solely because of his religious beliefs.

Atlanta fire chief, Kelvin Cochran
was suspended for 30 days last November and subsequently fired by the city solely
because of a Christian devotional book he authored that included a section on his beliefs
regarding biblical sexual morality. Cochran expressed his religious beliefs against
same-sex marriage and homosexual conduct.

“I respect each individual’s rights
to have their own thoughts, beliefs, and opinions, but when you’re a city
employee and those thoughts, beliefs and opinions are different from the
city’s, you have to check them at the door,” declared city Councilman Alex Wan.

The Councilman contradicted himself
in the same sentence. Obviously he does not respect Cochran’s First Amendment
rights if he thinks he can get away with firing him for merely exercising those
rights by authoring opinions which differ from his own.

“Every American should be concerned about a
government that thinks it can fire you because of what you believe,” explained
Cochran’s Alliance Defending Freedom attorney, who filed a lawsuit for wrongful
termination in federal court.

Now, while I certainly don’t agree
with any of Cochran’s religious beliefs, his First Amendment rights were plainly
violated by the city of Atlanta, and therefore I have no doubt that he should
and will prevail in his meritorious legal action.

The city cannot terminate the
employment of someone for merely writing a book containing an expression of controversial
religious beliefs. Had Cochran exercised those same beliefs to discriminate
against a gay employee of his department that would be a different situation all
together, but all he did here was to write a book expressing his beliefs.

His termination was unconstitutional
in violation of the First Amendment... the foundation of liberty.

Do you
remember Roy Moore, the Teflon judge from the State of Alabama? You know -- the
judge who likes to substitute his Christian religion for the law of the land; who
harbors no respect whatsoever for the United States Constitution; who disobeys
the federal judiciary, and answers only to God. It’s a pity.

Well, he’s
at it again. He just won’t go away quietly. As Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court
back in 2003 he stubbornly refused to remove a
massive granite Ten Commandments monument centerpiece from the Alabama Judicial
Building after a federal judge ordered him to do it.

After all,
he had commissioned the monument himself and he was not about to take orders
from a federal judge who considers the First Amendment Establishment Clause of
the United States Constitution and "obedience of a court order superior
to all other concerns, even the suppression of belief in the sovereignty of God,” contended Moore.

That bit of
judicial malfeasance got him booted off the Alabama Supreme Court by none other
than his own state’s Court of the Judiciary. They unanimously removed him from
his post as Chief Justice.

Undeterred,
Moore sought the Republican nomination for Alabama governor in 2006 but lost in
the primary to the incumbent by a 2 to 1 margin. He ran for governor again in
2009 and lost in the primary a second time having received only 19% of the
vote. In 2011 he got the idea to run for
President of the United States as a Republican.

Religious
extremists are drawn to the GOP like moths to a flame. Fortunately for the rest
of us his candidacy quickly went down in flames. Then by some miracle of miracles
he won an election to reclaim his former job as Chief Justice of the Alabama
Supreme Court. The people of Alabama seem to love their religious extremists. They
want their justices to follow the word of God.

And that’s exactly
what Judge Moore is doing once again. This time he’s refusing to abide by a
federal court judge who ordered Alabama county probate judges to issue marriage
licenses to gays. Moore has ordered the probate judges to ignore the federal
court decision and continue to deny marriage licenses to gays.

Apparently Judge
Moore thinks that the Alabama state constitution and his Holy Bible trumps the
United States Constitution and federal law. If I remember correctly, that’s
what Alabama governor George Wallace was thinking back in the 1960’s when he
blocked the door of a school house to entry by a black student in defiance of
the federal courts that declared racial discrimination unconstitutional.

Did you know
that it is against the law in the town of Bound Brook, New Jersey, United
States of America to engage in the time honored business of going door to door
to offer your neighbors goods or services in return for cash?

That’s
right. Nowadays, where once upon a time liberty prevailed, one is required to
get permission from the government to do that sort of thing. You must have a
permit. If you do it without a government permit you are guilty of a crime. You’re
a criminal; an outlaw; a miscreant. You can be ticketed, arrested, fined,
jailed, booked or otherwise mugged by the town statists.

So when a
big blizzard buried the town recently, two enterprising teenagers found out the
hard way they were criminals – guilty of the the “crime” of going door to door offering
to shovel the snow off their neighbors’ driveways for a small fee.

I used to do
that with my friends when I was a kid. I shoveled snow, mowed lawns, and helped
little old ladies with chores and such like in return for small sums of cash.
Little did we know back then that our innocent adolescent activity might
someday be considered a “crime.”

“We weren’t
looking to break the law,” explained the two 18-year-old criminal high schoolers. “We just didn’t know
the law.” The cops had to tell them they weren’t allowed to solicit
business door to door without a permit from the local government mafia.

They might
have been arrested as well said the Police Chief, but for the fact that the
town was in a state of emergency in advance of the coming winter storm. So the boys
got off with a warning this time and the neighbors had to shovel their own driveways.

The
town’s little 4th grade girls might not be so lucky this summer when they
get busted for going door to door selling Girl Scout cookies without a permit.

How many
more examples like this do we need to prove that America has slowly evolved
from the land of the free into a statist nightmare nation?

The
President of the United States is not alone in this fervent new irrational belief
that routine economic activities of human beings are causing global
temperatures to rise; consequently changing Planet Earth’s climate drastically with
the inevitable result of polar ice caps completely melting, sea levels rising
hundreds of feet inundating coastlines, vast areas of land turning into deserts,
life becoming extinct, and the Earth as we know it ceasing to exist – unless we
human beings start making sacrifices to stop the global warming.

Thus, the concept
of climate change -- global warming – has become a new religion. The idea is
that human beings are committing sin against the planet by over indulging in selfish
economic activity. We must believe, confess, repent, seek redemption and salvation
for these sins by making sacrifices, i.e. cutting our economic activities to
appease the mother planet and save humanity from catastrophe.

Those who
don’t believe are ridiculed and vilified by the believers. Those who are
unwilling to make human sacrifices are blamed for causing the impending disaster.
The unbelievers, infidels if you will, must be forced into submission in order
to save the planet from impending doom. Armageddon is approaching and the
sinners are responsible.

The global
warming alarmists are becoming more hysterical in their arguments, explained
Dr Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). “As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins
falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more
fanatical,” he said. “You've led an unpleasant life, you haven't led a
very virtuous life, but now you're told, you get absolution if you watch your
carbon footprint. It's salvation.”

This new
religion has been plaguing us – dragging upon the progress of civilization and humanity
-- for at least the last two decades. Every time we turn on the T.V., pick up a
newspaper, or surf the Internet we’re bombarded by dire predictions about
climate change – predictions which never seem to materialize.

In the
meantime the same global warming alarmists, President Obama included, are
carrying on their own economic activities as usual. They’re driving their cars,
flying their airplanes, burning fossil fuels, consuming energy and spewing out
greenhouse gasses as much as ever. They’re not making any sacrifices but they
expect sacrifices from you and me.

That’s the
nature of religion and all the hypocrisy that goes with it. It’s irrational; it’s
imaginary; it’s nonsense. But people believe what they are told to believe by
their Authority!
